Discussion on Paper No. 488–“A Memoir on Water Meters.”
In 1865-66, in levying the United States Internal Revenue tax on whiskey, it was determined that the product should .be measured by passing it from each still through a fluid meter carefully enclosed and under lock and seal. To meet the large probable demand for these machines, designs were called for, and in consequence the following was prepared, under date February 26th, 1866, the whole being copied from an old note book, as then recorded. An automatic measurer of non-elastic fluids, as water, must have a cavity or recess, which, enlarging as the fluid enters and contracting as it passes out, accurately measures the quantity expelled.
